    Come up to about 343 Worley’s road tonight. Between 1820 and 1900 I will be trying to see this comet about 5 degrees above the Western horizon.  Do join me if you want.

    12P - 20 April 2024

    I managed to catch it last night before coming out to West Melton. It wouldn’t stack, but here’s a screenshot of a single image, with a tweak of contrast etc.

    Well done Rob.  Low cloud on the horizon defeated us tonight.

    Ahh, never mind. I wondered if they would affect you.

    It should get better over the next few weeks, before it fades out.

    Fingers crossed for clear horizons.
